10 cans of red bull, degassed, pickling lime to bring the pH up to 4.2ish, some added sugar to a gravity of 1.07, and some added DAP and fermaid k. Then, the beautiful yeasties being thrown into this overly caffeinated, B vitamin rich environment. I have spent way too much money on red bulls...

Iðunn, goddes associated with apples and youth, was married to Bragi, god of poetry and the bards, or skalds, as they were called. Skalds were said to drink of mead, and from it, they received inspiration by Bragi. Hence, the name of this cyser, a fusion of mead and apples, the Marriage of...

No matter how I search I just can't find the information I'm looking for. Basically, I'm looking to find a wine/beer filter to add a final polish to my beer/wine. I've had my eye on the Buon Vino Mini Jet, but plates are expensive and the actual unit is still really expensive. Does anyone...

Hey. I'm from Bako and I have recently gotten into home brewing and winemaking. It's kind of a difficult hobby, being nowhere near a store, but, well, it's fun! However, it's also quite lonely. As near as I can tell, there are very few, if any homebrew organizations left in Bako. FOAM seems...

Scientists uncovered a grave in southwest Germany. Part of the discovery was a cauldron that once held an alcoholic beverage. Testing the residue, they deduced that it contained 5 ingredients: honey, barley, meadowsweet, mint and yeast. I will be doing extract, as I don't have a mash setup...

This recipe is aimed to imitate the flavor of butterbeer as mentioned in the Harry Potter series. My wife is a serious pottterhead and I wanted to have something that will be pleasant to drink for her (HP-themed) birthday. The recipe is based off the recipe I found here . However, as I do not...

This is an attempt to recreate a 2500 year old recipe, the oldest I have been able to locate. Of course, "recipe" is kind of a stretch, as I only know the ingredients, and nothing about the amounts nor process. My original source can be found here . Tl/dr: viking warrior's grave had a...

There is a legend that as the two families of Norse gods (Odin and Freyr) made peace, they "spit into a bowl". This is most likely a reference to the Germanic tradition of crushing berries in your teeth and spitting them into a bowl, then allowing them to ferment. (Don't worry. You don't gotta...

So, I ordered from Northern Brewer, not being close enough to a shop to buy there, unfortunately. The items i purchased included: 9 lbs of dme, 1 lb lactose, 1 lb crystal malts, and a few other smaller items (a few oz hops, whirfloc tablets, etc). Keep in mind, in premeasured items, I am now...

So, I am trying my hand at making my own recipe. The recipe will include cranberries, lingonberries and mint. But the mint has me tripping up. I cannot seem to find a recipe for wine or mead that shows how others have added mint to a batch. (Plenty for beer, but the process may be different for...

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I opted on winemaking, since balsamic vinegar is made from wine. I researched the process of making this type of vinegar and was surprised to find it takes 5 wooden barrels and 12 years! Insane! While it would be nice to have this setup (because with this...

I am new to fermenting and so, I maybe overreacting, but, as always, better safe than sorry. First some info on the batch in question: I modified a turbo cider recipe to include some honey, making it, technically a cyser. The recipe contains: apple juice, cranberry cocktail, honey, tea (for...
